Tensile and compression testing of fabrics, seams, yarns, coated fabrics, leather and accessories: strip, grab, seam, tear and yarn tests with the matching grips. Test speed 1–2,000 mm/min, crosshead travel 700 mm, pneumatic or manual grips, touchscreen control.

Model technical data

Maximum force 5 kN (5,000 N).
Test principle: constant rate of extension (CRE).
Loading modes: tension and compression.
Test and return speed 1–2,000 mm/min, selectable.
Crosshead travel 700 mm, without grips.

Control and recording specification

The following are method-specific software/recording requirements; delivered software modules are defined by the order scope.

Method code and edition, specimen ID, operator and selected test parameters are linked to the record.
Force-extension curve; strain = 100 × (L-L₀)/L₀; crosshead and extensometer results are identified separately.
Raw measurements, units, valid/invalid test flags and the reported result remain traceable.
Calculations are checked against known inputs and an independent calculation; sensor channels are checked against calibration values.
